Design Specifications: LEESON Parallel Shaft Gearmotor is totally enclosed for continuous duty, general purpose applications. Permanent split capacitor designs are rated for 115/230VAC, 60/50 Hertz input, and have starting torques equal to the running torques. The in-line gearing is of precision machined steel, with first stage steel helical gear followed by spur type gears. Lubrication is by semi-fluid grease, reducing possibility of leakage and providing permanent lubrication. Output shafts have needled bearings for high load capacities. Shafts are hardened steel.

Application Notes: All P240 gearmotors are supplied with continuous duty “run” capacitor.Conduit box is not supplied with motor.
These gearmotors are designed for mounting at any angle, but shaft up with motor below should be avoided to prevent leakage of lubricant into the motor should the motor’s shaft seal fail. If these gearmotors are stalled, gearhead damage may result, especially in the ratios of 60:1 and higher. Provisions to limit the torque are recommended. The torque values listed are the recommended full load torque values for reasonable gear life. Overhung load capacities shown are at the center of output shaft. Model P240 gearmotors have the same mounting dimensions as Bison’s 224 and 242 gearmotors and may Dayton gearmotors.
